Used this to stain a hand made longbow. I applied just two coats because I didn't want the bow to be "too" dark. Once this stain had dried, I then used Minwax spray on polyurethane(oil based) to seal it all up with. I'm no professional. I consider myself amateur hobbiest when it comes to doing this kind of work but I still think the finish on the bow came out pretty well. I think that using a quality stain and polyurethane helped a great deal as well.

Minwax is the only brand of stain I will buy. On this purchase I didn't have much to do so I bought a small container and it more than did the job. Love the black stain for my particular need on this project. Had extra left over and was priced very fairly.

Not exactly the color we (my wife) wanted for the bare wood microwave cart. It is really hard to pick a color or shade just by looking at the swatch on the label. This has a very slight reddish tint to it. The color we finally settled on (Special Walnut) isn't offered here. We found it a WM store. I can't say anything bad about the product though. It worked as advertised on a test area.

Works well to even out new and old table top wide boards. Applied by brushing and wiping off right away, thus controlling level of penetration and intensity of staining. Never just brush this stuff on and leave, unless you applied a sealer after final sanding.

This cherry stain rubbed into my Eastern Red Cedar plank table top gave the white streaks some nice color, made the red areas really stand out and under the red tinted epoxy, really gets great reviews by friends.Thank you

A solid product! We've used this product for decades. It's so nice that they've kept this line going so we haven't had to search around to find something to match. It also has an amazing shelf-life. Also decades. We do use a clear top-coat.

This worked fine, gave a nice finish.Only challenge was choosing the right shade of stain - but that's my responsibility, not the stain's. Little harder to do sometimes online. I got a few shades, light to dark, will be using them for various projects anyway.Very satisfied with purchase, would buy again.
